Elementary Schools in Somerset

Summary:

The Somerset area of Massachusetts is home to three elementary schools: North Elementary, Chace Street, and South Elementary. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade and are part of the Somerset school district.

Among the three schools, North Elementary stands out as the top performer, ranking 276 out of 906 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2024-2025, the highest ranking among the three. North Elementary consistently outperformed the Somerset district and Massachusetts state averages in MCAS Next Generation test scores, particularly in 3rd grade where 61.97% of students scored proficient or better in English Language Arts and 67.61% in Mathematics. South Elementary also performed well, ranking 337 out of 916 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2023-2024, the second-highest ranking among the three schools, and excelling in 4th grade MCAS scores.

The data reveals that the schools with the higher spending per student, Chace Street and South Elementary, also have lower student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to their academic performance. However, North Elementary, the highest-performing school, has a higher student-teacher ratio than the other two schools, suggesting that factors beyond just spending and staffing levels may play a role in a school's success.
